Her last episode of"Doctor Who" is expected to air later this year. "This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavor my utmost to do the same," the release quoted Gatwa — who described his emotions as"a mix of deeply honored, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared" — as saying.
